I know theres probably been many other threads like this one, but here goes...

I need to get more sweep in my quads, i do squats and feet together hack squats for my quads. What other exercises are there that target more of the sweep? or shjould i just wait and see how the hacks go...

i had the same problem.i posted the thread some weeks ago..got some great advice. now the outer sweepofmy quad has improved a lot.
heres wht wrked for me-
1)hack squats with feet together.remeber while doing these, dont lock ur knees on top.just when ure abt to reach the top,descend again for the next rep.the movt shd be continues.always keep the tension on the quads,dnt realx them.

2) front squats-thsese are great,use the smith machine if u have it,if not while using free weights place 5lbs plates beneath ur heals, this will force moretension on the outer sweep.go deep on these..follow the samecontionue msnmt mention ed above.

3)id reccomend leg extn. when ure outer sweep is pumped after ur squats,do these and feel the tension in the quad. ur form shd be reaaly good. hold the weight on top on each rep and feel the burn.use light weights for 15-20 reps. if done correctly 15 reps will KILL ur quads...ull wobble out of the gym after this.

hope this helps.
good luck

Good post steel frame. If you really wanted to, you could replace the front squats with Walking Weighted Lunges, Ronnie Coleman style.

i always do hacks and feel they bring out the sweep to the quad. walking lunges are great, i do them on my gyms basketball court with 50lb dumbells..im huffin and puffin by the end of the court lol
